If you’re running a blog or business online, you know how important search engine optimization is. But, many authors tend to forget about the importance of SEO because they’re focusing on finding new readers on social media or setting up book signings. Smart authors realize that potential readers are searching for their books on both Amazon and Google, and they implement an SEO strategy to help them sell more books.
In Episode 32 of the Blogger to Author Podcast, I’m excited to feature an interview with SEO and online marketing expert Glenneth Reed. Glenneth is an SEO pro and she shares some great tips to help get your book sales page, blog, and website to show up in search engine results. You’re going to love the actionable tips that she gives you so you can go apply them to your website NOW. (I know I did!)
